Its pretty clear that what he is trying to accomplish is to see if the
stat is bad or if there's a problem with the furnace. Stop trying to
out smart people who are smarter than yourself. It makes you look
like a fool. Which btw you are.

Wasn't obvious at all, to me. I figured he had a bad stat,
and wanted some quick heat for the weekend. Or some quick
cooling, whichever.

The understatement of the year...

FWIW, the Chronotherm III does have Rc and Rh terminals on the sub base, as
well and W1 and W2
If you had ever installed any of them, you would know this. Chronotherm III
stats are a PITA to program too.

Also... if you jump W1 and C, its not gonna do anything. Thats hooking
common to common and expecting it to work..... but then according to some of
the trolls on here, we don't know what we're talking about.

The next questions are what configuration of system?? heat only?? heat w/
A/C?? heat pump?? dual fuel?? How old is the system?? What was it doing or
not doing??

99% of the time, replacing a thermostat is like saying "My car won't run,
maybe if I get a new key for it...."

Gee... maybe the techs on here are not that are ignorant or stoopid.......

I never said they didn't have rh and rc. As for w2, that depends on
if'in its a two stage stat. Are all chronotherm III's two stage? um
nope. Honeywell doesn't ever use that name anymore. How old is that
puppy. I use to have one but it puked after 10 years. T8700C 1004
rings a bell. I may have the last four wrong. Available in both
single and multi stage configurations. Off the top of my head..

I thought they were very use friendly. Way better than W/R stats.
>Also... if you jump W1 and C, its not gonna do anything.

Ya think?

Probably a past paid too much for a filter troll.

When the key wears out and wont turn the ignition the car wont
start... :)

Some sure are, one in particular. You seem angry tonight?
